# Real-Time P2P File Transfer Using GenosDB and Modern JavaScript

Transfer files directly between browsers with no upload server — using [GenosDB](https://genosdb.com/building-genosdb-p2p-database) and WebRTC data channels for peer-to-peer file streaming.

## Tech Stack

- **GenosDB** for decentralized, real-time communication.
- **Modern JavaScript** (ES modules, async/await).
- Minimal HTML + CSS.

## Key Features

- **Direct file transfer** between peers via WebRTC data channels.
- Automatic **peer discovery** on join.
- **Progress tracking** for large files.
- Fully **serverless** — runs 100% in the browser.

## Use Cases

- Decentralized file sharing platforms.
- Peer-to-peer collaborative tools with file exchange.
- Privacy-first file transfer apps (no cloud, no data retention).
